When it comes to the strategy behind holiday email marketing, remember that the foundation of this strategy is based on relevancy and frequency.

1. Identify products<\/h4>\n

The first step for your strategy would be to identify and decide upon the products that you want to promote this year. Then decide on the months that they will be promoted on.<\/p>\n

2. Define offers and time frames<\/h4>\n

Your promotional offers need to be defined, following which the time frames for them need to be fixed. Get your best offers out in the open way in advance of the holiday season. This allows customers to avail of these offers before they have spent their budgets.<\/p>\n

3. Segment your list<\/h4>\n

Use list segmentation as frequently as you can. Track your preference center, read and click rates and analyze past purchases to effectively target your audience.<\/p>\n

4. Plot your calendar<\/h4>\n

Your deployment calendar must be planned in a smart way. Study the best and worst performers of your previous campaigns and adapt your strategy accordingly. Follow what worked best the last time and stick to the dates scheduled in your calendar.<\/p>\n

5. Effectively design your creative<\/h4>\n

Your creative should be designed in a way that generates the best performance possible. Place your CTA above the fold as well as in the pre-header. This successfully informs people about the content in your email.<\/p>\n

These five simple steps are sure to get you on the right track with regards to your holiday email marketing strategy.<\/p>\n
